Coconut oil

Coconut oil is good for more than just cooking—it can help keep your skin and hair looking and feeling great. Just warm up a little bit of coconut oil in your hands and rub it on your skin or hair. Let it sit for a bit, then rinse it off for a natural glow.

Coffee grounds

Say goodbye to expensive scrubs and exfoliants, and say hello to coffee grounds! Mix coffee grounds with a bit of olive oil or honey to make a yummy face and body scrub. Massage it in circles to get rid of dead skin cells and reveal a brighter complexion. Plus, the caffeine helps reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Tea bags

Puffy eyes are one of the most common trouble areas that people have. A cheap and easy way to get rid of puffy eyes is by using tea bags. Simply steep them in hot water for a few minutes, let them cool down, and then place them over your eyes for a relaxing and de-puffing treatment. The antioxidants in the tea can help reduce inflammation and brighten your eyes. Green or chamomile tea works best.

Baking soda

For a brighter smile, try using baking soda instead of expensive commercial teeth-whitening products. Just mix a little bit of baking soda with water to make a paste, brush it onto your teeth gently, and you'll see results after using it once or twice a week. It's a simple and affordable way to get a brighter smile. Just be sure to be gentle when brushing, as baking soda can be abrasive and damage your enamel if you scrub too hard.
